My wife is currently soaking up every moment with our newborn so I wanted to take a moment to share our experience. Working with Dana was the best investment we made for our birth journey. After a long and difficult road to conceive, this pregnancy was incredibly precious to us and we were naturally anxious about the delivery. Dana was a wealth of knowledge from day one. When labor got complicated and it felt like we were headed toward an unplanned C-section, she remained our calm in the storm. Her expertise in positioning and her ability to help us navigate the hospital’s suggestions were game changers. Thanks to her guidance and advocacy, we were able to avoid a C-section and have the vaginal birth we so deeply desired.

She was respectful of the medical staff while ensuring our voices were heard. She didn't just support my wife physically, she empowered us to make informed decisions. We are forever grateful to have had her by our side and I cannot recommend Dana highly enough.

As a husband, I was incredibly protective and anxious about my wife's safety. During a very intense point in labor, seeing her in so much pain was unbearable for me. I was actually the one who suggested a C-section just because I wanted her suffering to end. However, Dana remained our calm and steady guide. She didn’t dismiss my fears, but she knew exactly how to support my wife through that "wall."

With her expert coaching on positioning and breathing, she helped my wife find the strength to keep going. Thanks to her, my wife was able to have the natural birth she so deeply wanted, completely intervention-free and, amazingly, without a single tear! Seeing my wife so proud of herself and empowered by her own strength was life changing. Dana didn't just support the birth, she supported our whole family. If you're a husband who is on the fence about hiring a doula, do it. It was the best decision we ever made.

I would like to leave a heartfelt review for my doula, Dana. My labor was very long and difficult — almost two days — and there were moments when I felt completely exhausted. But thanks to Dana, I felt calm, supported, and never alone.From the beginning, she treated me with so much care and kindness. Being with her felt like having my mom next to me. She helped me change positions, reminded me to breathe and drink water, held my hand, and stayed by my side during the hardest moments.Her massages during contractions really helped reduce the pain and allowed me to relax and regain strength. Her emotional support was priceless — she constantly reminded me that I was strong and that my body knew what to do.Dana also helped me communicate with the medical staff and understand what was happening, which made me feel more confident and in control.Even after the birth, she continues to check on me and offer support. She helped me establish breastfeeding and is still helping me through challenges. I truly feel that she cares deeply.I am incredibly grateful to Dana for her professionalism, warmth, and kindness. I highly recommend her to every expectant mom. If I ever give birth again, I would choose Dana without hesitation.

Dana helped our family tremendously during a very challenging time. My wife’s delivery was not easy, and at one point she considered a C-section. Thanks to Dana’s support and guidance, we were able to have a natural delivery. She was patient, kind, and helped us navigate everything the right way. Hernknowledge helped us a lot even the nurses in the hospital didn’t intervene because they trusted Dana and her expertise in supporting us. We are very grateful for her real and meaningful help. Thank you, Dana!

Danna was truly incredible. She is not only responsible and attentive, but also has such a calming, supportive presence. During my labor she helped me in so many ways — from emotional support and encouragement to physical comfort, including massages and breathing guidance. I felt safe, cared for, and never alone. Her dedication and kindness made a huge difference in my birth experience. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she did for me, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting mom.

Choosing Dana as our postpartum doula was, without a doubt, the best decision we made for our fourth trimester. She is truly an exceptional professional who embodies everything you hope for in post-birth support: she is professional, caring, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable.

From our first meeting, Dana demonstrated remarkable professionalism. She helped us plan for life after the baby arrived, organizing practical resources and offering scheduling flexibility. Her vast knowledge of infant feeding (including lactation and bottle prep), newborn soothing techniques, mother's physical and mental recovery, and establishing gentle routines was a constant source of reassurance. She was always ready with evidence-based information, helping us navigate the steep learning curve of new parenthood with confidence.

During the crucial early weeks at home, Dana’s presence was a powerful anchor. She was profoundly caring, offering continuous support tailored exactly to what our family needed. Her kind and calm demeanor never wavered, whether she was supporting us during overnight shifts or helping out during the day. She had an intuitive way of knowing exactly what was required—whether it was quietly folding laundry, prepping a nourishing meal, watching the baby so I could nap, or simply offering a listening ear. She truly enabled me to focus on healing and bonding.

We cannot recommend Dana highly enough. She turned what could have been an exhausting and daunting transition into a peaceful, supported, and truly memorable time. If you are looking for a postpartum doula who combines top-tier expertise with genuine warmth and unwavering support, look no further than Dana.

Every future mother needs a Dana in her court. She was a life saver during my high risk pregnancy, birth, and postpartum; just the friend I needed in the delivery room. The doctors wanted to rush me into labor, but Dana successfully helped me negotiate with them for more time. She helped me dilate naturally without Petocin, through visual, auditory, and physical stimulation. She taught my partner and I many exercises, techniques, and birthing positions we didn’t even know about. Thank you so much, dear Dana! I can’t imagine my next birth without you.

My doula Dana provided exceptional support both before and after the birth. She guided me through the preparation process with care and reassurance, and after delivery, she continued to nurture me by cooking a delicious recovery soup and traditional baursak in my home. Her knowledge, kindness, and thoughtful attention made my postpartum experience so much more comfortable and supported. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and professional care during this special time.
